Zeph, did the Euro's (Poults & Rose) get up-and-down at 17 for par to win the match?  ESPN3 stopped streaming.

Haha, my cell phone keeps auto-correcting stricker's name as "atrocity" in text messages. Pretty fitting.

I wonder if DL3's strategy is to keep Tiger and Stricker together to prevent them from ruining other matches. Limit the damage to one match instead of two.

Horrible round from Tiger.  Some of his drives reminded me of my play at Poppy Hills ..... ugh.

But he's playing again right away in the fourball, my guessing is that he'll recover after a good lunch.

Quote:

It took two holes to ramp up the 39 th Ryder Cup

On the par-3 second, in the foursomes format, Rory McIlroy hit his tee shot right of the green and it landed near a sprinkler head. His European partner, Graeme McDowell, requested relief, but American counterpart Jim Furyk disagreed that the sprinkler head interfered with his swing.

After a 10-minute delay, rules officials agreed with Furyk. McDowell ultimately chipped to 6 feet and McIlroy missed the par putt.  Brandt Snedeker made his par save for the U.S. side, to draw first blood in the matches and go 1 up.

McIlroy evened the match by chipping in for birdie on the par-4 fourth.

Personally I don't see what the problem was.  McDowell is hitting a pitch shot and where the sprinkler head doesn't interfere with the club on the backswing or impact.

Does stance matter?

Regarding Tiger's grouping being slow, I did hear that they were put on the clock at some point.

Some of the players might be remembering the Charl Schwartzel relief

I must be seeing things.  During the 2nd round of matches, Tiger Woods hit his first tee shot on this short stretch of grass that runs between the left and right sides of rough.

Yeah, looks to me like the right call was made. Though I can understand wanting to get rid of a possible distraction if the rules allow it... but "mental interference" doesn't count.

I like the European color scheme. Sort of a jade green color going on. No let-up here from Bubba and Webb.

Before saying what I am going to say, please understand that I believe  the USA have the stronger team and in Davis Love 3 you have a gentleman Captain supporting all that is good in golf.

The course has been set up to favour the home team ( understand that ) but to me apart from the length it is resembling a resort course, spray the ball about and you have little chance of finding a difficult lie.

In my opinion the game (Ryder Cup) is being dumbed down. This is not sour grapes, just a sad note.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
